I’m beginning to despise labels. But when you think Highly Sensitive Person, they have a heightened sense of emotion.

Highly Sensitive Person, or HSP, is a term coined by psychologist Elaine Aron. According to Aron’s theory, HSPs are a subset of the population who are high in a personality trait known as sensory-processing sensitivity, or SPS. Those with high levels of SPS display increased emotional sensitivity, stronger reactivity to both external and internal stimuli — pain, hunger, light, and noise — and a complex inner life.

Highly Sensitive People have a sick 10th sense or whatever you want to call it. They can read people. When they feel, they feel!

I went to a ton of CoDa meetings in Vegas while I lived there over the summer.

For those that don’t know, CoDa is Codependent Anonymous. Again, I know, another label.
